Fire runs through my veins
And pain twists and turns
No matter where I run or hide
It always seems to find me

On my knees I pray to what?
Something must be out there
I know not is it god or what
Maybe some universal spirit

Seems that whatever is out there
Does not pay attention
For on it goes this pain
Heartache and awful loneliness

Into the void I shout my agony
Silence is all that to me returns
Silence so loud it deafens me
Now I know I am alone

Tears that drip upon the ground
Are gone to show no passing
Will I be like my salty tears
Nothing, not even a memory

Mind's eye sees the tracks
And blood slowly welling
Has it come to this? no hope
No pain and no redemption

A sign I ask, just a sign
To set feet in different direction
I wait in vain for no-one cares
Not even the so called almighty

And as my life slowly drains
A mantle of peace surrounds me
Finally this awful pain
This pain becomes a distant memory
